# Contributing to the PHP Standard Library
Thank you for contributing to the PHP Standard Library!
## Code of Conduct
The code of conduct is described in [CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md](./CODE_OF_CONDUCT.md)
## Issues
We use GitHub issues to track issues within PSL.
Please ensure your description is clear and has sufficient instructions to be able to reproduce the issue.
## Submitting Pull Requests
Before we can merge your Pull-Request here are some guidelines that you need to follow.
These guidelines exist not to annoy you, but to keep the code base clean, unified and future proof.
### Principles
- All functions should be typed as strictly as possible
- The library should be internally consistent
- References may not be used
- Arguments should be as general as possible. For example, for `array` functions, prefer `iterable` inputs where practical, falling back to `array` when needed.
- Return types should be as specific as possible
- All files should contain `declare(strict_types=1);`
### Consistency Rules
This is not exhaustive list.
- Functions argument order should be consistent within the library
- All iterable-related functions take the iterable as the first argument ( e.g. `Dict\map` and `Dict\filter` )
- `$haystack`, `$needle`, and `$pattern` are in the same order for all functions that take them
- Functions should be consistently named.
- If an operation can conceivably operate on either keys or values, the default is to operate on the values - the version that operates on keys should have `_key` suffix (e.g. `Iter\last`, `Iter\last_key`, `Iter\contains`, `Iter\contains_key` )
- Iterable functions that do an operation based on a user-supplied keying function for each element should be suffixed with `_by` (e.g. `Vec\sort_by`, `Dict\group_by`, `Math\max_by`)
### Tests
PSL tries to maintain a 100% code coverage, meaning everything within the library *MUST* be tested.
If you are submitting a bug-fix, please add a test case to reproduce the bug.
If you are submitting a new feature, please make sure to add tests for all possible code paths.
To run the tests, use `make unit-tests`.
### Code Style
PSL follows a custom set of rules that extend PSR-12, PSR-2, and PSR-1.
To check if your code contains any issues that violate PSL rules, use `make coding-standard-check`.
You may fix many of the issues using `make coding-standard-fix`.
### Static Analysis
PSL uses Psalm static analysis tool to avoid type issues within the code base, and to provide a better API
for the end user.
PSL is configured to pass the strictest psalm level.
To ensure that your code doesn't contain any type issues, use `make type-check`.
To ensure that your code doesn't introduce any security issues, use `make security-analysis`
